Bath re-enamelling in Milford

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Pressed steel baths

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Milford

We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about lots of chips and rust spots and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Common questions in Milford

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Do you cover the entire of Powys?

The whole UK, including all of Powys. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Milford?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take most of the day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Milford

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Most customers in Milford get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should you replace it?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
